Ingredients

• 500 grams Boneless chicken thighs or thinly sliced beef (e.g., sirloin or flank steak)
• 120 ml Soy sauce
• 50 grams Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 tablespoon Ginger (grated)
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 4 cups Cooked white or brown rice
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil (optional, for cooking meat)
• 1 Carrots (julienned or thinly sliced)
• 2 cups Broccoli florets (steamed)
• 2 Green onions (sliced, for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger to prepare the teriyaki sauce.

Step 2

In another small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry, and set it aside.

Step 3

If using chicken, cut it into bite-sized pieces. If using beef, ensure it is thinly sliced against the grain for tenderness.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add sesame oil (if using) and cook the chicken or beef in batches until browned and fully cooked through. Remove the meat from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, pour in the prepared teriyaki sauce. Bring it to a simmer and then stir in the cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce has a glossy, thick consistency.

Step 6

Add the cooked chicken or beef back into the skillet and toss to coat evenly with the teriyaki sauce.

Step 7

Assemble the rice bowls by dividing the cooked rice equally among four serving bowls.

Step 8

Top each bowl with the teriyaki-coated meat, steamed broccoli, and julienned carrots.

Step 9

Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your Teriyaki Beef or Chicken Rice Bowl!
